This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 343 - 47: Initial Victory in the First Battle

Chapter 343: Chapter 47: Initial Victory in the First Battle

Fifty arena battles occurred simultaneously, and the observing cultivators each had their own focus of attention.

Most people were more interested in the battles on the arenas numbered in the top three.

However, there were exceptions, such as the Candle Dragon Hall’s Jinyang Grand Honorable, who highly valued Mo Yan and focused on his battle.

Shui Yue Pavilion Master, for reasons unknown, had her attention fixed particularly on Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan leapt into the arena, entering arena number seven.

Before him stood a man in a brown robe, short and stocky, with a robust build.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan on stage, the man wore a simple smile, “You Chushan of Lean on Mountain Sect, pleased to meet you, Brother Lu.”

You Chushan was naturally older than Lu Qingshan, but in the Cultivation World, mastery was what mattered most.

Therefore, in acknowledging his own inferiority, You Chushan courteously addressed Lu Qingshan as Brother Lu.

Lu Qingshan, neither accepting nor denying, also smiled slightly, bowing with his hands clasped, “Lu Qingshan from Qing State, pleased to meet you.”

“The match begins!”

The Taiyin Sect Leader announced loudly.

Whoosh!

In the instant the voice of the Taiyin Sect Leader was heard, Lu Qingshan’s flying sword had already responded by darting out.

The Peach Blossom Sword, flashing a dull gray light, suddenly soared, sweeping toward You Chushan.

“Mountain Moving Technique!” Facing the flying sword that pulled a faint thunderous roar through the air, a hint of sharpness crossed You Chushan’s eyes, his simple face becoming serious. Simultaneously, a small, dark, mountain-shaped magic artifact appeared in his hands.

To defeat a Sword Cultivator, a Dharma Cultivator needed, first and foremost, a way to counter the Sword Cultivator’s flying sword.

Having stood out among so many cultivators, You Chushan, even when facing a gap in strength against Lu Qingshan, would certainly not be as powerless as Lin Kui, with no ability to struggle or resist.

The Mountain Moving Technique was the method You Chushan used to restrain the Sword Cultivator’s flying sword.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan felt his Peach Blossom Sword bearing the weight of a massive burden; the speed of the already near twenty times the speed of sound flying sword suddenly decreased, dropping to just seventy percent of its original speed.

Clang!

The flying sword, now reduced in speed and power by thirty percent, struck You Chushan’s Protective Spiritual Power. Although sparks of spirit power flew, the attack struggled to make a significant impact.

This was the renowned Mountain Moving Technique of Lean on Mountain Sect, a strategy involving a weighty magic artifact to establish a type of connection with the opponent, and applying the artifact’s weight onto the opponent’s item.

Instead, You Chushan cleverly did not apply this technique directly to Lu Qingshan, but rather in a targeted manner to counter Lu Qingshan’s flying sword.

In the subsequent battle, Lu Qingshan’s Peach Blossom Sword could not escape the drag of this immense weight.

Lu Qingshan gave a slight smile; this tactic was indeed clever, but…

“Your Mountain Moving Technique is but a single move; yet my attack methods are more than just a flying sword!”

Myriad Swords Art!

His entire body’s spirit power burst forth instantly. Sword Qi fired from his body, blooming in the air like a lotus flower, unleashing hundreds of filaments as fine as flower pistils, extravagantly beautiful.

The fierce Sword Qi Filaments covered the sky, relentlessly enveloping You Chushan.

The foundation of the Myriad Swords Art was the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit Realm.

After his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage and along with the enhancement of Slaughter Sword Intent to the Unity Realm, his Primordial Spirit strength also increased significantly.

Thus, even though he did not have much time to practice, his Myriad Swords Art naturally evolved to the level of five hundred swords.

“Ting ting ting ting ting ting ting!”

Amidst the crisp explosions, exactly five hundred Sword Qi Filaments heavily bombarded You Chushan’s Protective Spiritual Power.

Just this one wave of attack had used up nearly twenty percent of Lu Qingshan’s spirit power.

But the effect was equally visible to the naked eye.

With a loud ‘bang,’ You Chushan’s thick Protective Spiritual Power shattered instantly.

Although a Spiritual Light immediately protected him, under the powerful impact, You Chushan’s figure was sent flying backward.

“Lu Qingshan wins!”

The voice of the Taiyin Sect Leader came through.

You Chushan struggled to his feet, scratched his head, and said bitterly, “I admit defeat.”

Lu Qingshan smiled in acknowledgment.

This battle, from the very beginning when You Chushan employed the Mountain Moving Technique and had a slight upper hand, to Lu Qingshan’s sudden burst, rapidly turned the tide and decided the victor in just a few moments.

“Lu Qingshan won, and so quickly!”

“This is the terrifying Explosive Power of a Sword Cultivator…” Although many of the observing cultivators were shocked, they could understand.

This is the combat style of Sword Cultivators; once they burst forth, they are as swift as lightning.

And those cultivators from the top Sects with broader insight had serious expressions, as Lu Qingshan’s final burst of five hundred swords left a deep impression even on the experienced cultivators.

“It seems that before this, Lu Qingshan hadn’t mastered the Myriad Swords Art to this extent, had he?” someone pondered, “Was he hiding his true capabilities before, or is his talent so terrifying that even while participating in the Seven Domains Discourse, the Techniques he studied could progress at a speed visible to the naked eye?”

….

Lu Qingshan stepped down from the platform.

Although it had only taken him a few moments to defeat You Chushan, there were actually two others who had won their matches even quicker.

One was Zhou Yuan, whose face bore two strange patterns, and the other was Cao Xiaoxin.

Zhou Yuan, at the Nascent Soul Realm, nearly crushed his opponents, and Cao Xiaoxin, who was proficient with the Flying Sword, quickly concluding battles was also expected.

Seeing Lu Qingshan finish the fight, Cao Xiaoxin nodded to him in a friendly manner, while Zhou Yuan merely glanced at him indifferently, as if Lu Qingshan were nothing to him.

Lu Qingshan didn’t mind.

Among the geniuses, many were naturally arrogant and solitary.

Because others disregarded him, bearing a grudge would be rather petty.

Thus, Lu Qingshan also nodded back to Cao Xiaoxin and then waited together with them for the other matches to conclude.

He cast his gaze towards the twelfth platform where Mo Yan was, only to see that the battle there was also nearing its end.

Mo Yan’s control over Netherfire had long surpassed ordinary Techniques. His casual manipulation caused the Netherfire to transform endlessly, whether into roaring beasts or blossoming flames of Red Lotus.

Each attack seemed like a simple Fire Control Technique, yet its power far surpassed many Spells.

Under this relentless offensive, after a short while, Mo Yan’s opponent, caught off guard, was completely engulfed by a tiger formed from the Red Lotus Netherfire and was eliminated from the competition.

“Mo Yan wins!”

The Taiyin Sect Leader announced.

As time passed, the victors from the fifty platforms emerged one after another.

Zhou Yuan, Cao Xiaoxin, Lu Qingshan, Bai Guandao….

…

When the final victor appeared, the Taiyin Sect Leader spoke again, his invisible authority making everyone look towards him

“Congratulations to the fifty victors, you have now entered the top fifty in the Seven Domains Discourse,” the Taiyin Sect Leader said, smiling gently, “You will now have half an hour to recover and prepare for the second round of platform battles.

The pairs for the second round of platform fights will have the winner from platform one against the winner from platform fifty, the winner from platform two against the winner from platform forty-nine, and so on.”
